  • Walking barriers in older age

    Open AccessJiri Horak, Lenka Komarkova et al.ARTICLEJournal of Transport Geography2026

    Walking plays a key role in maintaining the spatial mobility of many older adults and enables them to perform everyday activities. Their mobility, however, is often constrained by external environmental factors. Despite this, significant discrepancies remain between perceived and objectively measured barriers. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which objective indicators align with older adults' subjective perceptions of walking conditions…

  • Visualising residents’ fear of crime with recorded crime data from four Czech cities

    Open AccessPetra Linhartová, Igor Ivan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2022

    The paper investigates if and where registered crime and the fear of crime intersect in the four locations. This information is important to reduce crime and increase the sense of security of the population. In the past, research was applied to small parts of a city or a whole city, but not in as much detail as this paper. Our research is detailed, and at the same time is applied to four entire locations - three Czech cities (Ostrava, Olomouc, an…

  • Spatial Patterns of Knowledge-Intensive Business Services in Cities of Various Sizes, Morphologies and Economies

    Open AccessJan Ženka, Ondřej Slach et al.ARTICLESustainability2020

    We compare intra-urban localization patterns of advertising and IT companies in three large Czech cities. The main aim of our analysis is an empirically-based contribution to the question to what extent do knowledge bases affect the spatial distribution of various knowledge-intensive business industries. The central research question is: To what extent is the localization of these two industries influenced by different modes of innovation/knowled…

  • Intra-urban patterns of creative industries in polycentric city

    Open AccessOndřej Slach, Igor Ivan et al.ARTICLEGeoScape2015

    The principal objective of this paper is to evaluate the spatial patterns of creative industries in a micro-geographic perspective. As the creative industries represent a highly heterogeneous complex, only selected creative industries were studied (culture, marketing and advertising, printing, publishing, architecture). The polycentric industrial city of Ostrava was chosen as the surveyed area. Various spatial statistical methods (e.g. nearest ne…

  • Mapping and monitoring unemployment hot spots towards identification of socially excluded localities

    Open AccessTomáš Inspektor, Igor Ivan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2014

    This paper is focused on mapping and monitoring of unemployment hot spots using registers of local authorities in the Ostrava City (Czech Republic) to identify socially excluded localities at the micro-scale. The register of unemployed persons and the population register provide data for quantification of specific indicators of a local labour situation. A share of the registered unemployed in reference to residents in productive age can substitut…
